Abstract. We introduce a visual notation for local specification of concurrent components based on message sequence charts (MSCs). Each component is a finite-state machine whose ...
Dynamic Fault Trees (DFT) extend standard fault trees by allowing the modeling of complex system components’ behaviors and interactions. Being a high level model and easy to use...
Agents in an open system interact with each other based on (typically, published) protocols. An agent may, however, deviate from the protocol because of its internal policies. Such...
dels at different abstraction levels; in particular, higher-level (e.g. membrane) activities can be given a formal biological justification in terms of low-level (i.e., protein) in...
Abstract. Description Logics (DLs) are a family of class based knowledge representation formalisms characterised by the use of various constructors to build complex classes from si...
